i think idol x plus is more suitable 4 me

Go for it

haven launch yet, haha

trade in my S3 at RM550 and got this Hero few days ago.
bought in lowyat one shop with RM1299, without the bluetooth sidekick phone.
Love the big screen and it's LED cover notification.
Battery life is good. can last about two days.
can't deny that the stylus is not so good with the screen.
but lucky i seldom use stylus.
Camera quality not so bad lah actually. It's all depends on the light condition around you. Big aperture, can capture well in low light condition, but with noise.
Just my simple review. sorry for my poor english.

How abt taking photos bro?
Is it as quick as your previous S3 ?

y don want blue tooth side kick phone?

I noticed that the battery consumption stats is very different from Samsung or Sony phones. Usually the screen takes up the most power by far but not the Hero.

Cell standby consumes the most power instead.

That's weird..
Could u post your screenshot of the standby SOT time here? Just curious...

Changing from iPhone 5 to this phone is it worth it?
Need some advise

That a massive downgrade IMO.

The only upside from that is that u get a way bigger, Full-HD resolution screen. I cant think of anything else.

Every other aspects from that transition is a downgrade imo. Inferior camera, Inferior processor, Outdated OS and developer support (its Alcatel - chances of getting the latest android updates are slim).

Oh, okay, thanks for your advise bro.

bought this at rm1299:
phone + magic flip + one extra flip cover + sidekick + charger + micro usb cable

the 6" fullHD ips screen is gorgeous. the mid level cpu + 2gb ram + camera is more than sufficient for my daily use. the magnetic magic flip cover is fantastic. the default web browser with quick controls (enabled in the browser's settings>labs>quick controls) is a joy to use. this is indeed a excellent value for money android phone at this price point.

sure the most powerful cpu + 3gb ram + amoled screen is the note 3, but the retail price is RM2399 + rm189 for the flip case. imo the price is obscene.

1299 including the magic flip cover n sidekick phone as well?

Thats one massive bargain. Where u buy from? retail shop or online?

can you share the sound quality and photo quality?

yes magic flip cover n sidekick as well. in addition, there was an original alcatel flip cover case given to me for the phone too. i bought from 1misscall, he has a shop at IOI Boulevard in puchong.

phone speaker quality, calls and music player, imo it is better than note 2, loud and clear

ear phone quality with tuneIN internet radio app, mkv movies, good enough. there is an inbuilt equalizer; u can adjust the tone to your preference. for me i listen to my music sources, flat.

camera, the samsung notes are better. for point and click usage this camera is good enough.

thanks for sharing, i just wonder can put this one to my pocket or not? quite difficult to put note 2 into my wallet

the alcatel hero has a very thin bezel. it is also very slim in terms of thickness. it is very pocketable.

the magic flip, u can close the flip to answer calls so u won't feel like holding a big block to your ear the sidekick remains in my box, i dont use it at all .. ahahaha

the built quality is good. the black blue colour is nice, white is not available as yet. the magic flip cover has a matt silky thai satin finish, it is classy. imo, the phone built quality is better than the lenovo and asus at the same price point.
